Author: Rev. John Newton Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In mercy, not in wrath,
Rebuke me, gracious God;
Lest, if Thy whole displeasure rise,
I sink beneath Thy rod.
2 Touched by Thy quickening power,
My load of guilt I feel;
The wounds Thy Spirit hath unclosed,
Oh, let that Spirit heal.
3 In trouble and in gloom,
Must I forever mourn?
And wilt Thou not at length, O God,
In pitying love return?
4 Oh, come, ere life expire;
Send down Thy power to save;
For who shall sing Thy Name in death,
Or praise Thee in the grave!
5 Why should I doubt Thy grace,
Or yield to dread despair?
Thou wilt fulfill Thy promised word,
And grant me all my prayer.
Amen.
